Describe the Bug

I recently started using multi-scrobbler with the pr-203 docker image for YT Music scrobbling. It worked fine for the first week but I just noticed it hasn't been scrobbling tracks for the past 3 days. Opening the dashboard shows this:

    error: {

      "message": "Request contains an invalid argument.",
      "status": "INVALID_ARGUMENT"
    }

I've tried reauthenticating and even restarting the whole container but no luck. Upon reauthentication, I enter the code into the google page, the dashboard even says DEBUG : [App] [Sources] [Ytmusic - MyYTMusic] Auth success but the source still remains "idle" and clicking on start results in the output I pasted above

It could very well be related to this: sigma67/ytmusicapi#676 I'm facing the same issue using oauth.

[UditDey]

Yes, looks like it. Youtube must have changed the endpoint. oauth itself seems to be working, its just the https://www.youtube.com/youtubei/v1/account/accounts_list?prettyPrint=false&alt=json request that is failing

[tylermiranda]

yep, can confirm, having the same issue

[FoxxMD]

YTM is really throwing wrenches in the gears 🙃 I hope this isn't an effort on their part to block unofficial usage but rather a side effect of regular development evolution but who knows.

I am on semi-vacation at the moment and will have more time to focus on this at the end of the month or December.

[UditDey]

I have a hunch this is just a change and not an effort to block us. Also take your time lol, FWIW, I've been using the unofficial YTM desktop app and that has a scrobbling plugin, which is good enough for now.

[FoxxMD]

For everyone having auth and history fetching issues: please try out the new authentication methods detailed in #236 using the docker image foxxmd/multi-scrobbler:pr-236

If you try out the new docker image please post any issues you have with it in the issue for #236 instead of this one so I can better keep track of things, thanks.

[FoxxMD]

Accidentally closed, but this should be fixed in edge docker image with the merging of #236

@UditDey please try using foxxmd/multi-scrobbler:edge and let me know if its working for you.

You will probably need to get new cookies. After updating your image open Docs on your instance and read the new YT Music configuration section for cookies/oauth to get started. Also check out the FAQ for new YTM troubleshooting directions..
